Apple, Samsung back in court over $1 billion damages award

Apple and Samsung are back in a U.S. court where a $1 billion damages award given to Apple is to be reassessed.

In August 2012, a U.S. jury found that Samsung had infringed patents held by Apple in the design of several of its Galaxy-branded smartphones and tablets. It awarded $1 billion to Apple. In March of this year, a judge found that the jury had incorrectly estimated $450 million of the damages and that it would need to be assessed at a new trial.
